Painful Accident.

Last evening a young man named
Mccarthy, fireman on board one OF
the Interisland steamers, while walking
along Nuuanu street lighting cigarette
slipped into hole and broke his ankle.
He began yelling, and policeman came
along and dragged him to the Station
House. When he got there his injury
was discovered, and the Marshal ordered
him to be taken to the Queens Hospi-
tai. Instead of getting stretcher, two
policemen attempted to carry him there.
They got as far as the corner of Hotel
and Fort streets when the pain caused
Mccarthy to call out rather loudly.
Sam Lederer, who was passing at the
time, asked what was the matter, and
upon receiving reply from the injured
man, he called hack and had him
taken to the hospital, paying the fare
out of his own pocket Arriving at the
institution, Mccarthy was made COM
Portable. This is the fourth time he
has met with a similar accident.

GeOrea Francis Train.

George Francis Train has for years oc-
cupied bench in Madison square every
pleasant afternoon, and is always sur
rounded by bevy of children, to whom
he is very kind, and with them only
would he converse, absolutely refusing
to speak to adults. He has now quit
speaking to children, but writes as much
as ever still wears his fresh buttonhole
bouquet, and appears happy and con-
tented.-Chicago Tribune.

MOTHER-CONTENT.


left thee once in mad desire TO find
The love for which my spirit yearned with pain
At many a door knocked and knocked in vain
Craving loves aims which none to grant inclined
But laughing. treated me with cold disdain;
Yet still wandered, eager in the quest,
Forever seeking, and for aye un6lest,
Since no one gave the boon for which pinned,
Then, mother! turning TO my home went
With weary steps and sorrow nun1bing care,
And 10 my pain was lost IN sweet content,
For what sought came to ME unaware;
In the dear eyes that on thy son were bent
All had asked 1 found, for love was there

Competing with British Sailors.

German steamers and sailing vessels are
crowding out their British competitors
on the China coast. German masters and
sailors are willing to work for much less
pay than British seanen of the same class,
while their steam vessels are so fitted as to
be run very cheaply The consequence is
that they are taking the coastwise and
foreign trade. Chicago Times.

JOE AND WILLIAM DEAN, the two
brothers who were suspected of burn
ing Mrs. E. III. Marable's barn on the
Southside were arrested at the in
stance of Mr.. T. j. Spokesman, the
foreman Of the place, charged with
the crime of arson on Wednesday
night, and lodged in the Clarks-
vile Jail, on Saturday, not being able
to give bond. They appeared before
Esq. Sam A. Caldwell on Wednesday
and were discharged on bond, the
case being continued until next Tues
day week, to give the parties time to
prepare for the preliminary trial.
Whoever committed this heinous
crime certainly deserves to be pun
ished with the utmost rigor of the
law, but, as the matter is to undergo
judicial investigation, we refrain, for
the present, from expressing any
opinion as to the guilt or Innocence
of the parties charged. n

Mrs. MATTE MCREYNOLDs, wife
of the late Robert McReynolds. form
erly Miss Matte Fort, got on the
GAINESVILLE accommodation at SPRING
field on Friday the 23rd inst, and
when the train reached the neighbor-
hood of Cedar Hill, and was running
at speed of 80 miles an hour, leaped
from the platform of the coach and
would probably have been instantly
killed, but the brakeman saw her
and attempted by Selling hold Of her
clothing to prevent her from taking
the perilous leap. Her shawl and
veil remained in his hands, and this
must have broken the force of the
fall. The train was CHECKED up inn
mediately and returned to the spot,
but she,was nowhere to be found after
diligent search. The next morning
she came to the house of Maj. Bart
lett, a mile and q half from Cedar
Hill, and proved to have been only
slightly injured. This unfortunate
lady is believed to be insane, as she
has made several attempts tocommit
sIici lie in the last few weeks.
